Having two unique passwords boosts your account’s security.
If your account is in one-password mode, it is also possible to switch to two-password mode. You can log in and access your mailbox with your new single password. Log in to your Proton Account at (new window) and click on Settings → Go to settings at the top right. If you have an older account, you can still activate one-password mode:ġ. If your account was created after November 2016, you’re already in one-password mode. Instead of two passwords, just a single password is required for login. One-password mode removes the need to remember two passwords, making it easier to use Proton Mail. However, we will continue to support two-password mode. For Legacy accounts (those created before December 2016), we also provide the option to switch to one-password mode. However, over time, our research team developed a way to provide the same level of privacy and security with just a single password.īecause this improves Proton Mail’s usability, one-password mode is now the default for all newly created accounts.
This was to ensure end-to-end encryption. When Proton Mail was originally released, it was created with a login password and a mailbox password known as two-password mode.
